Yesterday, Trump brings back plastic straws - "I'm sure the sharks munching their way through the ocean will just munch them."

'Bring back the plastic straws' was another declaration he signed yesterday with a flourish of his Sharpie pen, flanked by the usual obsequious officials and a bigly map of the Gulf of Mexico America (which is is now 'fact' according to his spokeswoman).

You see, the sharks are just there, happily munching along in the ocean, so they'll just bite through the plastic straws because they have very sharp teeth, after all.

People are getting so used to the freak show, this kind of thing doesn't even raise an eyebrow anymore. AIBU to wonder how America is going to ever regain any credibility? We have 4 more years of this!

@100A YABU to imply that America hadn't already long since soiled their credibility. Clearly for far too many, this clownshow looked saner than what came before.

Honestly, I am not gonna care what you think when I’m back in America drinking my boba tea with a plastic straw. Gonna be awesome ✌️ no turtles will be harmed, they don’t dump their trash in the ocean (anymore)

Well I'm sure forks, knives and spoons have also caused injuries but we still use them. You can say the same of baby household items.

Many household items not baby household items.
